While that HC piece on wrestling was interesting, they glossed over the 70's & early '80's. Not a single mention of Bruno Sammartino & only a quick shot of a picture of Capt. Lou Albano. The guys that kept wrestling alive in the '70's in the northeast were Capt. Lou & the Grand Wizard of Wrestling and they didn't even mention them...

It did skip the whole "immigrant group" push that occurred during that time. It ran the gauntlet from Italian (Bruno) to Polish (Putski) to Puerto Rico (Pedro Morrales)
